  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 19:9-17

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 19:9-17

    God doesn’t hide what He does. He instructed Moses to bring the people so that there would be witnesses. While no one can see the essence of God, the people would see a manifestation of God in a cloud. God so organized the encounter so that the people would trust in Moses as their leader…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 18:17-27

    Jethro implores Moses to delegate some responsibility because Moses’s way of doing things is not sustainable. He will wear out, or burn out, himself and the people of Israel. Moses listens to Jethro’s advice. There are many good applications to make from this part of the text, even knowing that it is narrative and descriptive.…

    Daily Devotional- Ephesians 5:22-33

    Paul instructs saintly wives. Wives are to be subject to their own husbands as to the Lord. He explains what he means and why. According to the created order, the husband is the head of the wife like Christ is the head of the church. Christ is the savior of the church body, so the…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:15-32

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:15-32

    God sees the blood on the frames of the Israelite doors and passes over them, not allowing the destroyer to go in. I find this wording interesting. From Genesis 4:23 onward, God has said that He will personally kill the firstborn. Yet, here we read about Him sending in or withholding a destroyer–a character some…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 7:1-7

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 7:1-7

    Yahweh instructs Moses to tell Pharaoh all that He commands, and Aaron is Moses’s prophet—or mouth piece. Here, we see the job of a prophet. A prophet is the mouth piece of God. What the prophet says as a prophet is the word of God, not his own words. That is why the Old Testament…

  • Exodus 3:10-22

    Exodus 3:10-22

    God will send Moses to Pharaoh, but Pharaoh will not let the people go until God strikes Egypt with all the miracles He shall do in the midst of the land. God makes this known up front. He knows the process, and He knows the outcome. Moses asks two questions of God here at the…

  • Exodus 3:1-9

    Exodus 3:1-9

    Moses is out shepherding the flocks and God appears to him in a burning bush. God commands Moses to remove his sandals, calling the place where He has appeared holy ground. In his pronouncement from the midst of the never-consuming fire, I feel a sense of holiness that is not characteristic of any worldly thing.…

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 2:1-10

    Moses is born. When his mother can no longer hide him, she gives him up by placing him in a basket in the reeds of the Nile. The very river that meant death for so many Hebrew children meant life for baby Moses. Pharaoh’s daughter discovered him and named him Moses—meaning “out of water.” By…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 1:1-22

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 1:1-22

    Introduction The Book of Exodus comprises a story that continues from Genesis. While Genesis was the beginning of all things and Israel, Exodus is the outworking of God’s promise to Abraham—namely the promise to bless all nations through his descendants. In Exodus, Moses, the books author, is born and leads the Israelites out of Egypt.…

  • Daily Devotional: Ephesians 5:11-21

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 5:11-21

    The calling on the life of the Christian is to form the world positively. We are instructed not to participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness—what Paul has already called immoral, impure, and covetous. Unfruitfulness is evil. Before we take this too far and become workaholics, we do recognize that rest to the proper degree…
